Veni, Today I prepared Idli, it was tasty but it came out little bit hard, i soaked idli rava only for one hour is it because of that? let me try once again by soaking it 4 to 5 hours???
@ Vani,
Soaking the Idli Rava for about 1-2 hrs would be sufficient... you can try soaking it for about 3-4 hrs.
Also make sure that the Idli Rava and Black Gram seeds are in the ratio 2:1.
Hi Veni, I prepared by soaking Idli Rava for 4 to 5 hours, it came out good, Thank you veni for the nice recipe.
I think you have a typo. Is the water from soaked idli rava or only the idli rava pressed from water that we need to mix with the black gram batter?
@Anonymous,
Yes, it was a typo... Now I have updated the recipe section properly...
